I consider myself to be a bit of a feminist.. I'm not ugly, I'm not a lesbian or any of the horrible names a lot men would probably resort to calling me. i have a boyfriend and am very happy with him, cause he understands and respects my views. What gets me is the way so many guys react to feminism. They resort to childish name calling and bombarding us with negative representations and what not.
Its really pathetic that they can't just accept that things are changing and get on with it (which is supposed to be a masculine trait).. I put it down to ignorance or maybe even a fear that their gender is under threat?

LOL...in this case, men understand what feminists have become decidedly blind to. That is, that a man and woman may be of equal value and deserve equal rights, but they are NOT equal. They have different strengths and weaknesses. This will always be fact, no matter how strongly feminists try to bury it. Because of this fact, there are roles that are best served by one gender or the other in a family. Feminists are out to convince women that they are not whole people until they are busy doing what men generally do. This creates dissatisfaction with traditional (and sensible) roles inside a family. The end result is unhappy women and a varying degree of dis functional families...which leads to unhappy men as well. Meanwhile, none of the promises feminism makes ever come true...it's part of the lie. Doing things that men generally do are not going to make a woman happy. Women are women and will be happiest when they accept this fact and try to be the best woman they can be...not the best man they can be.
I accept that things are changing/have changed...for the worse. What is hard to understand is why so many people have a hard time seeing it. It certainly seems like there is a gender that feels threatened...but it's not men.

I see that things have changed, not for the better.
Divorce rates have risen to 50%, women have reproductive choice - but men have none (women use this to extort child support for men), basically things have gotten much worse for men to the point that things are worse for men than things were for women in the past. We have been turned into wage slaves to raise our progeny we didn't want, we can be drafted, 99% of occupational deaths are men, domestic violence is 50/50, women do it as much or more than men but there are no special laws to protect men like women have. It has gotten to the point where women are trying to get women special rights over men rather than just equality.
There should be equal opportunities, not equal outcomes. Because not everybody is born with the same talents and a woman who has spent years raising kids should not go back to work and get paid as much as a man who was working that whole time. Feminism has run out of things to bit ch about so they come out with false statistics to enrage people, like their statistic on the 'wage gap' and the 'glass ceiling'

They don't realize that its about trying to be on a level playing field, not rule the world without them. And they're ignorant. And they're threatened.

Because they feel threaten. It is easier for men’s self esteem women that do not question anything with their word or behavior. If men only knew that we just need human to love us, be our friend and allow us to love him and be his friend not a superhero....
